Keālia Beach

Keālia Beach extends along Kauai's eastern coast with a mile of golden sand meeting the Pacific Ocean, bordered by natural vegetation and coastal paths.

The beach area served as a significant landing point for sugar industry ships during the 1900s, with remnants of old loading docks still visible along the coastline.

Local Hawaiian families gather at this beach for traditional fishing practices and community celebrations, maintaining connections to ancestral maritime traditions.

The beach provides facilities including restrooms, showers, lifeguard stations, and parking areas, with best swimming conditions occurring during summer months at the northern section.

Winter swells transform the beach into a premier surfing location where experienced wave riders navigate powerful shore breaks reaching heights of 15 feet.
